About

Yonglin Fu is an emerging research leader at the intersection of robotics, human-robot collaboration, and the built environment, with a growing body of work that is rapidly reshaping how construction and facility management industries adopt intelligent automation. Fu's research centers on integrating cutting-edge technologies — including augmented reality, virtual reality, digital twins, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) — to enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of construction processes. A particularly notable contribution is Fu's development of the "RoboAvatar" framework, which leverages Industry Foundation Classes to create standardized digital representations of robots, significantly improving interoperability between robotics and built environment systems. Fu has made substantial advances in human-robot collaborative teaming for modular construction manufacturing and facility inspection, addressing critical challenges in occupational health, ergonomic workstation design, and construction waste management. With over 240 citations accumulated primarily between 2022 and 2025, Fu's influence is growing at a remarkable pace. This trajectory positions Fu as a pioneering voice in the digitalization of construction robotics, offering students and practitioners a compelling roadmap for sustainable, technology-driven built environments.
